Selector 3: Black ink print mode

the machine to function as a monochrome printer, making it possible to print with black ink only
even in an ink empty state as listed below.

Tip: Difference between selector 3 on AMS04 and selector 8 on WSW49 (See
Both selector 3 on AMS04 and selector 8 on WSW49 specify the similar black ink print mode that
applies if any color ink runs out. The difference is that the former allows the machine to print all
data received as a monochrome printer with black ink only; the latter to ignore the ink empty state,
receive both color and black data, and print it, resulting in a printout missing color components.
Selectors 4 and 8: Automatic purging for color ink and for black ink
The machine periodically performs an automatic purge by default. The automatic purge, however,
wastes ink when no printing has occurred. To avoid it, disable the automatic purge with these
selectors. In the first printing after a long no-print period, disabling it may lower the print quality.
Setting selector 4 or 8 to "1" disables the setting made by selectors 6 and 7.
Selectors 6 and 7: Automatic purging interval
These selectors allow you to select the automatic purging interval to reduce ink consumption.
Setting these selectors to "1, 1" (No purge) disables the setting made by selectors 4 and 8.
